My mount is an eq 6.
But I pulled it down and made sure every thing was polished each gear tooth and removed the greeese and used a very light machine oil...I am unbelievably a perfectionist so trying to make the mount perfect somehow appealed..I did a few things that were probably extreme, can't remember,...
One thing I would have used was a tube extending past the camera lens by seven inches with baffles to restrict star light from anything outside the field of view being able to strike the lens.
I had these tubes for all my scopes ...and that was probably obsessive but I think it improves contrast.. I never tried with and without which I should have determine if the effect that I believed I achieved was real or imagined...
But after I "invented" these tubes I noticed that Hubble has a similar extention.
I posted this.elsewhere on this forum.but post it for.you here... It's like a long few tube with baffles.
It should be flocked as well really.
